caption_attribution_description: English: Princess Leia's slave costume from Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi on display at the Star Wars and the Power of Costume traveling exhibit at the Detroit Institute of Arts in Detroit, Michigan (United States).
context_page_description: Princess Leia's bikini is an iconic costume worn by actress Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia in the 1983 Star Wars film Return of the Jedi.
context_section_description: Rodgers and the staff created multiple versions of the metal bikini string to accommodate different scenes in the film, including a hard metal piece (original bronze bra by Sculptor Richard Miller who is credited as "head jeweler" in the film credits) for scenes in which Fisher remained still, and a rubber outfit she and stuntwoman Tracy Eddon could wear comfortably while performing stunts. The costume designers made a mold of Carrie Fisher's torso so it could be designed to a custom fit. Fisher said of the material, "It was like steel, not steel, but hard plastic, and if you stood behind me you could see straight to Florida. You'll have to ask Boba Fett about that." She also said the bikini is "what supermodels will eventually wear in the seventh ring of hell."  
  Top: The outfit consisted of a patterned copper brassiere with a curved, plunging neckline that fastened behind the neck and back with string.
  Bottom: The outfit had a copper plate at the front while the back was covered by a red silk loincloth.
  Accessories: Fisher wore knee-high boots of leather, a hair fastener that positioned her braided ponytail to cascade over her right shoulder, two bracelets, and a snake arm-wrap. She also wore a chain and collar that bound her to Jabba the Hutt, her captor, which she used to kill him.
